but just have to say, that this photo is everything i love about photography...and almost everything i love about you.

i imagine that it was possibly a full, crazy day. it could have been late afternoon, after you've been pulled in every direction - with a toddler in tow. and maybe you just picked up 3 needy kids from school. and maybe your hair was in a ponytail. i hear giggles, and yelling, and barking, and "hold on e".....

in your life's fullness, you captured it's sweetness. it's not a photo that makes your life seem better than it is, but one that captured what's truly there - if only for the moment (ya know, there could have been tears or arguing only seconds later...). it makes me happy to think of all of you looking back at it in 20 years and remembering, and smiling.
